Error message
Subscription consent requirement cannot be granted before `consent_period.starts_at`.

Common causes

  • You're trying to grant consent for a subscription before the consent period has started.
  • The system prevents early consent grants to ensure customers have appropriate time to review subscription terms before renewal.

Troubleshooting

  • Wait until after the consent_period.starts_at timestamp before attempting to grant consent.
  • Check the subscription consent requirement's consent_period.starts_at property to determine when consent can be granted.
